Goodbye Uncle George

Uncle George, why did you leave?
And my sisters so young and naive,
Now we have nothing to believe,
All we can do is deceive,
And grieve,

My girl; I have been dying all along, just very slow,
Then during the night I let all the life left in me go,
Help your sisters be strong, and grow,
My girl! Don't look so low,
I know it is hard, but I am happy and can feel my spirit glow!

But Uncle George, why now?
You left us here repeating the death vows,
Just like the ones said for mother, I feel a dreadful avow,

My girl; it is my time,
I have committed no crime,
I know you feel covered in death grime,
But rejoice for me and wipe off that unsightly slime,

Uncle George, that's what they all say,
But they aren't the ones left here in dismay,
There mind isn't a fog of grey,
They don't feel as I do in this state of betray,

My girl; I didn't betray you,
If you think I left you on purpose that is untrue,
And as I look at your mother, my sister, I too feel new,
For she looks beautiful, does that help you feel less blue,
And she has no wheelchair! My girl, all I say is true,

Uncle George, you are making me cry yet again,
I guess it is good to let all the bad drain,
Describe mother to me, please explain,

My girl, in time you will see,
And when you come you will agree,
My girl; I have to flee,
But be strong, for you and for everyone that is my plea,
I love you My girl, and please fulfill my plea,

Uncle George! Please continue you speaking,
I want to talk to you further! Don't leave me seeking,
I want you back; to tell me bathe when I begin reeking,
I want you to comfort me from my midnight shrieking,
I need you here; it is you I am seeking,

My dear girl, I know it is hard but be strong,
Remember my soothing song,
It will help you feel that nothing is wrong,
But this is where I now belong,
And you will be here too before long,
Goodbye my girl,I love you, and remember stay strong,

Goodbye Uncle George, I love you too, I'll miss thee,
I know now that you feel free,
But don't forget me,
Goodbye Uncle George, I love you too, I'll miss thee
